feeenix14 10 Posted April 30, 2014 OK can someone help before i lose my mind. ive done quite a bit of work to the car and had everything stripped in the drivers side wheel arch - hub, brakes, strut, track rods - so all that was left was the driveshaft with outer cv staring at me. I unbolted the inner CV from the gearbox but then trying to pull the whole thing out via the wheel arch was a no go because the gap between car and subframe is too small to fit the inner or outer CV through. so i took the outer cv off and slid the assembly back through the gap under the car to get it off then i faffed like a noob trying to get stuff off then back on with my new cv boots and rebuilt the whole assembly and only realised lying in bed last night i will have to take one end apart again to refit it the same way i removed it. unless im missing something - can i jack the engine up on the drivers side to create enough clearance to get it in there ?? :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted April 30, 2014 I got my drive shafts through. they went in towards the gearbox if that makes sense? so you want to feed the shaft through from the GB side towards your wheel....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
